The logger is now set and can be switched off at this point. The

in the same way as a standard clip-on ammeter. The load to be
measured will show in the digital display while the logger is in
“standby” mode. The correct range must be selected for the
display function to operate properly.
WARNING

Manual before using the logger to make electrical
measurements.
NOTE

been downloaded this action will erase the memory. Releasing
the button whilst the l.e.d. is still flashing will retain the data,
allowing the user to download it before proceeding. If the
button is pressed and held for approximately 5 seconds the l.e.d.
will cease flashing, any existing data will be erased and a new
survey will commence.

Check the LED is showing a short flash every few seconds and the
display is ‘off’, to verify that logging is actually enabled.

When the desired survey period is complete, press and hold
the log button until the display is initiated and the ‘log’ LED
ceases to flash. The logger may be switched off if immediate
download is not required.
